'Beauty And The Beast' Is Back And Better Than Ever

Disney’s live-action feature film of "Beauty and the Beast" earned the title of the most viewed trailer in its first 24 hours after being released last week. On Monday, Nov. 14, the trailer that was distributed across all social media platforms, had jaws dropping everywhere.

The Beauty and the Beast trailer drew in 127.6 million views in just one day. The previous record was set by "Fifty Shades Greyer," the second movie in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy, with 114 million views. Before that, Star Wars: The Force Awakens held the title with 112 million views.

If you can recall, there was a teaser trailer that was released back in May. This teaser consisted of the classical music, scenes of the inside and outside of the Beast’s castle, and only a super quick glimpse of Belle leaving viewers hungry for more.

This official trailer, however, is what myself and everyone else in the world was waiting for. We got to finally witness scenes featuring Belle as played by Emma Watson, and costarring Dan Stevens who plays the Beast. We even got a glance of Lumiere, Cogsworth and Mrs. Potts. If you put this trailer frame-by-frame next to the original film that was animated in 1991, they match up perfectly. I don’t know about you, but I felt so nostalgic and sentimental while watching the Beauty and the Beast trailer that I may or may not have teared up a little. Pass the box of tissues, please.

This specific Disney movie holds a very special place in my heart because my eighth grade play was "Beauty and the Beast" and I played one of the three silly girls as well as a dancing napkin. (Cue the song "Be Our Guest.") Watching the trailer is like being thrown back into our childhood and experiencing the magic once more. I think I speak for most of us when I say that March 17, 2017 (the date it’s released in theaters) cannot come soon enough!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
